This place is like the golden mean of SS13. The balance between Bay-style vs. NoX-style, or "don't do this, don't do that" vs. "do whatever the fuck you want" is just right. For example, "you have to do your job" vs. "you don't have to do your job at all". Or ...

If it's still that much of an issue, someone suggested earlier that disarming someone climbing on a table pushes them off. Honestly, easy fix, guys. Yes! Please make tableclimbing slow, getting on top of the table could be quite fast but over to the other side should be at least slow enough for a C...

It's cool that the game gets new features, but this feature is just plain unnecessary for anything other than graytiding.

Research guide's table needs info about the new drone parts (in the exosuit fabricator?). False alarm that's already there! Awesome. SMESes were moved to the ex-Secure Construction Area (which was ex-Gravity Generator Room for a while), that place's name, engineering picture and other info on the e...

I got stuck as a drone when there was no gravity on the station, in cargo next to a crate in the middle of the room. I believe it's also possible to get stuck next to lockers, too. Drones can't throw anything to help themselves out of this situation.

If you're unrobust why are you playing a head role? That feels like a weird question, robustness shouldn't be a requirement for being a boss. As I said, I like to help the station out where it's lacking the most and I also like to manage, organize and take responsibility and wish to learn how to be...

You could also PM your angry off topic rants. It was on topic the moment someone tried using it to justify some abortion of an idea. That was probably my post. I'm sorry if it made you upset, that wasn't my intention. I'll be honest and rephrase my statement: It would be nice if the game was balanc...

I wrote some water code. have fun. That is beyond awesome. If added different stages of deepness, there's a possibility to drown someone! And in no-gravity it could form water-spheres. This would add a whole new layer of chaos to the station, plus another department to micromanage. Speaking of whic...

Holy shit, I just posted a big ramble about how you shouldn't care about people who fuck off. Go read it. The thread is named "Heads of Staff and Security: They're a fucking joke". We're trying to solve a problem about underlings not obeying authority (a.k.a. fucking off), and your soluti...

What I meant by that is that we don't know what policy on demotions is. At least I don't. ahelp -> "Urist McAsshole is being a dick, he did X, Y and didn't do Z even though I asked him to. Can I take his ID?" You're still talking like "taking an ID" is just as simple as that. A ...

Good luck being the CE and trying to "just take the ID" (or hit him with the melee-demotion-weapon too) of an engineer who just took off into maintenance at the start of the round. This is why remote system would be far better. True, it would alter the balance a lot, but we can't counter t...

Right now a heads needs to take the ID from a player to change its access. This is an annoying thing to do, so heads and do it when a player is actually doing something bad. >implying I bother changing their access Nope.

You can mine all the shit for a couple of thousand points without ever going to western part of the asteroid in 15 minutes. I'm tired of telling people that.

Syndicate bombs are usually not even used in the pursuit of success. There are an assortment of other tools that do that better. My issue is when they are used to end the round early. What if we encouraged players to fix the destruction rather than baby the actual job role play? Recall that shuttle...

Polls on the forum are (read: should be) required when making big changes to the game, so: Could it be possible to make polls more visible? Maybe a special icon for a thread containing a poll? Or even a special setting that could notify me with an email about every poll being started on the forums?...

How would you suggest you apply a slur to speech though? Can you give an example? Might not be that easy to code. Is it possible to scramble the letters in the middle of a word? Like in the Cambridge Effect . That could make awesome pseudo-drunk-typing. A simpler solution (but a much more fun to lo...

I heard that now that saycode was updated, it would be possible to add robotic speech bubbles to the medibots, securitrons and such whenever they speak. Oh and more things for the medibots to say, too, right now they have like 3 different lines.

There should be a small notice message to players when the gravity goes off/on, "Your feet slowly float off the floor...", like every other obvious thing the player character does (washes hands, slips, strips someone etc.). The floating does its just nicely but it just feels a little incon...

Some kind of special device or locker that will fully strip inmates and replace them with an orange jumpsuit and automatically store the contents in the brig locker would speed up the arresting process so the time spent is actual BRIG TIME.

you can't fucking tell which things are animated and which aren't. Animated things move and attack. Others don't. It's pretty simple.

Feels silly that the AI can't see emotes and other actions through the cameras. Wondering if it was decided to be this way because of game balance or because of saycode and such?

Crew objectives would enhance the feel of station being one, instead of encouraging people to be lone wolves (hello assistants), it would give the people a reason to come together to make a big thing possible which would be impossible to do alone.

Okay since some people mostly object to the Personal Objectives, that's okay, it was just one suggestion. Have you guys looked at the Crew objectives at all?

Okay we have the Money Talk -thread which is very closely related, but I don't wanna derail that thread. This is about a completely different (and a much more simple) approach at the same issues.

Really, I wish explosions propelled items into lethal speeds. Shards, screwdrivers, syringes, pens and other small sharp objects should be thrown by the explosion if it's not in the gib radius.

That's a problem with shitty players, not security itself. Give sec free rein to do whatever they want to greytiders so they don't have to worry about getting banned. No. This would lead to shitcurity, which in turn would lead to graytide against it. The biggest problem I see with Security is that ...

The halls would always be quiet and this would ruin a lot of what little RP we have left.
